			Places volunteers have found that cards can be left on the High Street

			*Cafes
			*Cinemas
			*Arrange with friendly retailers to hand them out (usually ones with green aspirations)
			*Supermarkets (local notice boards. They removed them from the neat files with those showing local tradesmen. If you speak to local supermarkets managers they will allow you to spend a day giving out cards and talking to customers on their way in or out and will allow you to put up a banner or posters around the entrance and of course their own staff rooms are great.)
			*Corner shop and newsagents
			*Estate agents
			*Repair stores
			*Takeaways -
			**one local chip shop takes more than anywhere else. He keeps them on the counter"
			**when someone from the local indian takeaway came around saying they did deliveries and giving leaflet, and persuaded them to take some business cards with them to put in the takeaway :)
			*Charity shops - suggest they can hand them to people who offer electrical or other stuff they can’t take in their shops.
			*Chemists
			*Carpet shops are good because they have lots of waste such as bits of carpet, wrapping, tubes etc
